Spread Kindness Not Germs

Even though the Dare County Libraries are temporarily closed, they have provided a variety of eBook resources, which allows you to access reading material from the comfort of your own home (with your Dare County Library card).

Their regular collection consists of over 2,900 eBooks. However, during this closure, the collection is supplemented by thousands of additional titles on a Pay Per View model (and the library is paying, not you!).

Accessing the eBook collections is free and is easy. If you have a Dare County Library card and a PIN (Personal Identification Number) you are all set. Don’t have a PIN or remember your PIN? Call the library during weekday hours and they will assist you.

Dare Counts - Census 2020

The 2020 Census will count everyone living Dare County.

A complete and accurate count is vital for the entire community. The Census is conducted just once every ten years as required by the United States Constitution. The basic data it collects helps to shape the future for you, your family, and your neighbors. It informs the allocation of funding for the community as well as determines the number of seats each state gets in Congress. Every person (both citizens and non-citizens) living in Dare County at the time of the Census must complete the survey.

Everyone is affected by this count. If you drive on a road, cross a bridge, have children in school, go to the doctor's office or hospital, require special assistance from federally funded programs, or use any other public service, join us and make the pledge to participate in the 2020 Census.
